Big Jack Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 No comparison, Big Jack had more than one way of playing and knew how to get the best from all his players. Big Jack is a legend which is no way describes our present incumbent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack was a unique character in the game back in a different era when the game had characters. Big Jack had an aura about him, after being a World Cup winner, he was a very good manager, that made average players and teams, better than what they were. Can Pulis do something similar here to the likes of Big Jack and Sgt Wilko? Possibly but he'd do it his own way. He's got the experience to do it but I feel he'll have to adapt more to the modern Championship, much like Bruce and Warnock have done. If Pulis, could keep us up, stabilise us and eventually get us pushing towards promotion during his reign, even despite his style of football, he'd become a club hero if he could bring the good times back. I think he'd have known that when accepting the job, whoever eventually gets us back up would become a modern hero or legend, like Bielsa at Leeds for example. I think this is right. So many people in the past have said one day someone is going to turn this club round and be a hero. Pulls could just be that man Lets all hope so and get behind the team 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Charlton will have had the ex World Cup winner effect too. But I can see the comparisons in that we aren’t in a great position and Pulis hasn’t finished any lower than 7th in this league for over a decade so he could be seen as taking more of a risk than us. But it’s interesting that so many of our most well remembered managers were quite robust in their approach yet the reaction to Pulis would suggest otherwise. I wasn’t at all sure at first mainly as he has been a comical character at times on MOTD but when you actually research him and listen to him speak about things it changed my mind. He has that authority about him. Ultimately though, we have got a few clean sheets already this season. We need goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
